Chapter 114: Wandering Corpses by the River (2)

The man had a mask on his face, a dark gray robe, and a red rope tied around his neck, and smiled and felt that the dress was familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.

At this moment, the man's hand was still on Murong Xi's waist.

Xiaoxiao looked around, there was really no way to retreat, there was no way, and he used his meager spiritual power to attack those two people.

Seeing the lilac light flying towards Murong Xi's face, just when Xiaoxiao thought he was about to hit, the man flicked up his dark gray sleeves and gathered the purple light, and then, together with his own spell, attacked Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao only felt that a strong wind blew across his face and hit the tree behind him, and a large number of maple leaves fell on Xiaoxiao's body.

"Hahahaha, look at how stupid you are. Murong Xi sneered indifferently.

Xiaoxiao dusted off the fallen leaves on his body and asked: "Ming people don't say dark words, you don't have to go to such trouble if you want to kill me, I am here, just kill it." ”

"Don't say that, it's a pity to die with such a beautiful skin, and that pure essence, but it's the best delicacy. After that, Murong Xi also licked the corners of his mouth, as if smiling was the best delicacy on the table.

Xiaoxiao saw Murong Xi approaching, secretly accumulated spiritual power and fingertips, and attacked Murong Xi, Murong Xi didn't notice it, he really got hit, Murong Xi was angry, and directly waved a whip on Xiaoxiao's body.

There was no expected pain, and it was the man who helped Xiaoxiao block the whip.

"Lan Hua, why?" asked Murong Xi.

"Princess, don't be in a hurry, such a prey, when the time comes, slowly torture, are you afraid that you won't have time?"

Murong Xi thought about it, he still wanted the skin of this village girl, but he couldn't let her bump it, so he withdrew the whip and said, "Hmph! Count yourself lucky, this princess will let you go for the time being, if you run around again, this princess will look at your legs." ”

In the end, Murong Xi summoned the maid and brought Xiaoxiao back to the room, this time, it was a place similar to a cellar, and Murong Xi took Lan Hua's hand and went to be happy again.

On the other side, the Dali Temple was busy like a dog, and the foot did not stop for a moment, and the corpse received from the river was transported to Yizhuang, and ordered to conduct a detailed investigation, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not clear.

The time of death of the deceased was about half a month ago, there were many wounds on the body, different shades, but not fatal, even the skin on the limbs had traces of wear, and it was not fatal, the strange thing is that the skin of this corpse was soaked in water for a long time, and it did not swell, but dried up and lost moisture, like a dry corpse covered with skin and bones.

There are no clues on the corpse, so the article on the identity is not simple.

Li Lanhua, a Yulan layman, lives on the top of the mountain in the capital, where he lives in seclusion, it is said that a few days ago he met the eldest princess Xi and the eldest princess who went up the mountain, and the eldest princess fell in love with Li Lanhua at first sight, and wanted to recruit people as a concubine.

But Li Lanhua shouldn't, he just wants to live a leisurely life, Naxi and the eldest princess naturally refuse, they have always been arrogant and domineering, so they directly asked the current saint Murong Xian for the holy decree, forcibly gave marriage, and forcibly moved Li Lanhua to the princess's mansion.

According to this reasoning, this Li Lanhua has won the heart of the princess, even if she has been missing for half a month, even if she is not dead, the princess should go to the official mansion to make trouble and find this man, but in the past half a month, the princess's mansion has been the same as before, although it has been noisy, but there has never been such news, it is really strange.

"My lord, there is a boy outside who asks to see you. "The guards outside report.

"Childe, what kind of childe, do you have anything to say?" Chu Xi asked.

"Back to my lord, look at the son's dress should not be an ordinary person, but his appearance is really ordinary, saying that his wife is missing, and he came to report the case, and the time of disappearance was at last night's Lantern Festival. ”

"Any parent who is short will bother the official, there are many people at the Lantern Festival, and it is normal to be gone, let him wait at home for a few days, or find the chief to solve it. Chu Xi's face was impatient.

"Yes, sir. The guards were ordered to drive them away.

"Come on, get ready, go to the princess's mansion. Chu Xi thought about it for a while, but still planned to go to the princess's mansion.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cloud of cold air floating around him.

Outside the gate of Dali Temple, after Yuhua was driven out by the guards, he has been standing in the corner, and not long after, Nianqing came out of Dali Temple, floating with a translucent body, and said: "Your Excellency, that Dali Temple Qing said to go to the princess's mansion." ”

"This matter has something to do with Murong Xi?"

"I don't know, the people under my hand reported that Yulan Jushi was the eldest princess's concubine, and the concubine was dead for half a month, but the princess's mansion did not move at all. ”

"It seems that there is something wrong with this princess's mansion, go with the deity to take a look. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Then Yuhua cast a stealth spell and went to the princess's mansion.

Not long after, Chu Xi also arrived at the princess's mansion.

"Xiaguan has seen the eldest princess. Chu Xi bowed respectfully to Murong Xi.

"Lord Chu doesn't need to be polite, I don't know if Dali Siqing came to the door, but what did I, a princess from the Princess's Mansion, do to disturb the capital?" asked Murong Xi.

"The princess misunderstood, Xia Guan came this time just to learn about things from the princess. ”

"Oh, Lord Chu, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Then the lower officials don't go around in circles, last night's Lantern Festival, a floating corpse was found by the river, and after verification, it was the princess's concubine Li Lanhua, a Yulan monk, dare to ask the princess, have you seen the concubine these days?"

"What! The horse is dead!" Murong Xi looked stunned.

"Princess's Day mourns. ”

"Lord Chu, do you know who did it?"

"Back to the princess, it has not been ascertained. ”

"The matter of the horse, I bother Lord Chu to find out as soon as possible, and give the horse a fair deal. “

Murong Xi's somewhat aggrieved tone really startled Chu Xi, after all, this princess usually doesn't care about anyone, and for this reason, Murong Xian also has a headache.

"Rest assured, princess, you should do your best. Chu Xi saluted again, and continued to ask what he wanted to ask: "Dare to ask the princess, doesn't the princess know about the whereabouts of the concubine in the past half a month?"

"Princess Ben has been busy in recent days, Lan Hua said to Princess Ben half a month ago that she was going back to her hometown to visit relatives, but Princess Ben didn't take it to heart at that time, and she didn't think about it......" After finishing speaking, Murong Xi also sobbed a few times, and a few tears fell out of his eyes.

"I see. Chu Xi's face suddenly realized, which also explains why Li Lanhua disappeared for half a month, but the people in the princess's mansion did not report to the official, after getting the answer he wanted, Chu Xi said goodbye to Murong Xi and returned to Dali Temple.

And Yuhua and Shi Nianqing, who were hidden on the side, didn't think so.

"Nianqing, what do you think?" asked Yuhua.

"Your Excellency, Nian Qing always felt strange when she looked at this princess's expression, but she couldn't say it. Shi Nianqing frowned, very distressed.

"You're not the only one who thinks so, there is a black aura in the corners of Murong Xi's eyes, this matter will definitely not be so simple. ”

"Your Excellency, my intuition tells me that Xiaoxiao is definitely related to this princess's mansion. ”

Yuhua nodded, agreed, and then was silent, thought for a while, and instructed: "Nianqing, you stay in the princess's mansion, find out Xiaoxiao's whereabouts, and go to the palace to the deity, this matter is inconvenient for you and me to interfere in, or let them solve it themselves." ”

"Good. But Your Excellency, what if Xiaoxiao is in danger now?"

"In the human world, the danger is not enough, before, the deity has put a rosary bead on Xiaoxiao's body, if she is in danger, the prayer bead can save her life, and besides, it has not been able to easily hurt her. "After all, people are nourished by Liushupei's aura, and the power of the artifact is still immeasurable.

With that, Yuhua disappeared and went to the palace.

The palace of this matter is no different from the past, at that time, Murong Xian was sitting in the imperial study to review the folds, and there was not even a eunuch in the room, but for a moment, he saw a figure flash in front of his desk, and just as he was about to have a seizure, he saw a familiar face.

"It's you, Xianshang?" Murong Xian looked at Yuhua and exclaimed, this is a rare guest among rare guests.

At this moment, Yuhua has recovered her appearance, and her peerless appearance and cold fairy aura can't be covered at all.

"After the last time I said goodbye to the meditation nunnery, I had an epiphany, and ordered to clean up the three provinces and six departments, and found that I have been really absurd in the past few years, and the people are suffering, and this emperor is really not good. Murong Xian said with emotion.

"Your Excellency is good if you understand. Yuhua said.

"Then I don't know what the immortal is doing this time, if I can do it, I will definitely help. ”

Yuhua sat down in the next seat when he heard this, and said: "This matter really needs help, the deity is a person in the divine realm, and it is inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the human world, but the beloved disciple of the deity was lost last night, last night's Lantern Festival, there were many people, and the deity has been looking for it many times since then, but there is still no one." ”

"It's easy, find someone, as long as the immortal provides a portrait, I can order to go down and help find it, I believe that soon, I can find the immortal's beloved apprentice." “

"This is good, but the whereabouts of this apprentice of the deity are known and understood, but this is in the realm, and the deity is inconvenient to interfere, so I come to bother Your Excellency. ”

"Sensage, but it doesn't hurt to say. Murong Xian motioned for Yuhua to continue.

"Xihe Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”

"What! Immortal can you really take it?" Murong Xian was surprised.

"Truly, the breath of the deity's love is the strongest there. ”

Murong Xian was a little embarrassed, if it was in Murong Xi's mansion, it would really be difficult to search, his eldest princess sister, but she was not good at talking, she had the most headache on weekdays, half of the first ten books in a day were to impeach the eldest princess, and now, even the immortal ......

"If you are in a difficult situation, you can also refuse. Yuhua said lightly.

"Since I promised the immortals, I will naturally do it. ”

"The deity is waiting for the emperor's good news. Yuhua stood up and straightened his sleeves, and before Murong Xian could react, he left the palace.
